I'm looking for some new shocks for my 391's or some type of solution for the active setup like the kwon bars or something like that.

Link isn't much help on the shopping end, but the pic is pretty good.

Joe Meek mounts are not the correct size for the SE300b bodies. I know because I bought those mounts and they were too large for the mic bodies. What I ended up buying are the Studio Project C4 mounts, which do fit the 19mm bodies (that the SE300's are) just perfect. You can find them here
http://pmiaudio.com/accessories.html (look for the "Replacement shockmounts for C4" about 1/2 way down)
Now if you want to mount them as actives, the kwon bar won't work as I've tried that too. I ended making my own DIY bar out of some 1/2" cpvc tubing and (2) 45 degree angle pieces (also cpvc). If you want a picture, I can take one, or you can search out pictures of DIY projects somewhere in one of these threads, plenty of photo's out there of DIY projects to be found if you search them out.

well, no kwon bar, but this is a fine picture of the guts of what these look like as actives

(thanks poorlyconditioned!) :)
Still looking for some bars suggestion for you though. I know I've seen some rig pics before, just can't find them now, but everything I have ever seen (for the ck9x active setup) were all DIY stuff made out of pvc tubing

Not for the bodies, for the base of a vark bar. The JM27's have some variance in the size of the inner cradle. I've got two that are snug enough for the bar and two that are not.
Either way, a strip of felt self adhesive furniture gliders (couple bucks at home depot) will take up any extra space, so even a 300 body will fit snugly in one.
Thanks for the link on the c4 mounts if that price is for a pair it's a good deal.
